Bible Study–Genesis 3:1-5

The silence between Genesis 2:25 and 3:1 is where Adam went bad; this becomes evident as chapter 3 unfolds. Adam has reversed and inverted what the image of God is; from God’s green arc to Adam pretending to be god by inventing a law to impose on Eve, all the while abandoning Eve to the devil’s deceit.

The silence between Genesis 2:25 and 3:1 is where Adam went bad; this becomes evident as chapter 3 unfolds. Adam has reversed and inverted what the image of God is; from God’s green arc to Adam pretending to be god by inventing a law to impose on Eve, all the while abandoning Eve to the devil’s deceit. Pharisees, older siblings, and tyrants all invent useless laws to impose on others.
